Graduate School

The Graduate School, National Oceanography Centre Southampton (GSNOCS) is administratively part of Ocean and Earth Science at the University of Southampton.

Working in the lab

There are currently around 170 research students within the Graduate School, with an annual intake of about 40, and approximately 50 masters students. Students from all over the world and from all science disciplines join us to study and use the unique facilities we have at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton.

We have invested in a first class, dynamic programme to support PhD students, with innovative teaching techniques, comprehensive student services and cutting edge research resources. We are currently on a drive to expand our Graduate School through the recruitment of high-calibre students from the UK, EU and overseas.

An energetic postgraduate committee represents the PhD community at departmental meetings and organises regular social events throughout the year.
